Math Problem Statement

What is the value of the correlation coefficient using the given data?

Solution

It looks like you've provided an image containing a mathematical expression, likely related to correlation or regression calculations based on its structure.

Here is a breakdown of the formula:

The given formula:

[ r = \frac{n\sum xy - \sum x \sum y}{\sqrt{[n \sum x^2 - (\sum x)^2][n \sum y^2 - (\sum y)^2]}} ]

Where:

  • nn is the number of data points.
  • xy\sum xy is the sum of the products of corresponding xx and yy values.
  • x\sum x and y\sum y are the sums of the xx and yy values respectively.
  • x2\sum x^2 is the sum of the squares of the xx values.
  • y2\sum y^2 is the sum of the squares of the yy values.

In the expression, I see some large numbers substituted into the formula:

  • xy=71,085,000,000\sum xy = 71,085,000,000
  • x=255,000\sum x = 255,000
  • y=1,010,000\sum y = 1,010,000
  • x2=11,422,500,000\sum x^2 = 11,422,500,000
  • y2=87,484,000,000\sum y^2 = 87,484,000,000

These values are then plugged into the formula for rr.

Steps to calculate rr:

  1. Compute the numerator: nxyxyn\sum xy - \sum x \sum y.
  2. Compute each part of the denominator:
    • nx2(x)2n\sum x^2 - (\sum x)^2
    • ny2(y)2n\sum y^2 - (\sum y)^2
  3. Take the square root of the product of the two terms from step 2.
  4. Finally, divide the result of step 1 by the result of step 3 to get rr.

Would you like me to perform the full calculation, or provide any further clarification on the formula?


Relative Questions:

  1. What does the correlation coefficient rr signify in this context?
  2. How would this formula change for different data sets?
  3. How does changing nn (number of data points) affect the value of rr?
  4. Can you explain the significance of squaring the sums in the denominator?
  5. How is this formula applied in linear regression analysis?

Tip:

When calculating large sums and squares, it's important to double-check the units and scales of the data to avoid rounding errors in large number computations.
